Protein Information
Description
Protein function:
Part of the host defense system of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It is responsible for microbicidal activity against a wide range of organisms. In the stimulated PMN, MPO catalyzes the production of hypohalous acids, primarily hypochlorous acid in physiologic situations, and other toxic intermediates that greatly enhance PMN microbicidal activity.
Catalytic activity:
Cl(-) + h(2)o(2) = hocl + 2 h(2)o
Subunit:
Tetramer of two light chains and two heavy chains.
Cofactor:
Binds 1 heme B (iron-protoporphyrin IX) group covalently and 1 calcium ion per heterodimer.
